Cutting Dadoes with a Standard
Blade
A ripping blade (described on Page 32) is typically
the best blade to use for cutting dadoes when
using a standard blade, because it removes saw-
dust very efficiently.
To use a standard saw blade to cut dadoes:
1.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2.
Ensure that riving knife and standard table
insert are installed and properly adjusted.
Optionally, install Model H4231 zero clear-
ance insert, making sure center section of
insert has already been removed.
3.
Mark width of dado cut on workpiece. Include
marks on edge of workpiece so cut path can
be aligned when workpiece is lying on table.
Raise blade up to desired depth of cut (depth
4.
of dado channel desired).
5.
Set up saw for type of cut you need to make,
depending on if it is a rip cut (Page 38) or
crosscut (Page 39).
6.
Align blade to cut one side of dado, as shown
in Figure 57.

dado channel, as shown in Figure 58.
